Trump Vows To Punt All Dem Legislation ‘Unless It Has Perfect Border Security’

12.20.18 | 7:33 am

The Democrats, who know Steel Slats (Wall) are necessary for Border Security, are putting politics over Country. What they are just beginning to realize is that I will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure, unless it has perfect Border Security. U.S.A. WINS!

If this failed clown isn’t careful, he may well be surrounded by a very secure border quite soon.

Idle threat…

We already know McConnell won’t let any democratic bills through the senate, Trump won’t have to punt anything.
